The ohief makes the following appeal
for n " third man" at caeh of the flre
huuses, and in this matter he has the sup
port of all who are acquainted with the
organization of our flre dopartment.
"I deem it a duty te the dopartment
and tnyself that councils and the publie
at large be informed of the disadvantages
the department labors under at the pres
ent time In having but two permanent
men ompleyod at oaeli ougtue heuse. We
should have the third man, te be the ongl engl ongl
neer, permanently ompleyod the same as
the drivers. I will explain it te you in
this way : At meal times, which occurs
tlirce times oaeh day, our department is
seriously crip led ; you can count six
hours of cacti day that we have but enu
man lu each heuse ; se you can see that
during theso hours it is only pessible te
get out ene apparatus. By having the
third man porrnanently employed, we
oeuld then arrange matters te loave the
ouglne heuse with both apparatus at any
moment. I will refer you te the lest threo
or four alarms, all of which occurred at or
near the dluuer hour. I hepe you will
give this your most oareful considera
tion." The chief congratulates oeunoils ou the
absonceel tires during the year ; incendiar
ism has net rolgned as hcretofero.nnd that
oause of dread and horror seems te have
been expelled from our midst.
In conclusion the ohief extends his
thanks te the mayor, the police, the 11 re
oemtnittoo and his fellow llromeo, for
thelr valuable aid and uniform courtesy
and kindness during the year.

accomraedato the truek ; but au examin
ation shows that te romedol it would cost al
most as mueh as the purohase of the Empii e
building. The Washington cupola is en
tirely tee weak te sustain the Empire bell,
se that a new tower would have te be
built ; the prosent stabling would have te
b3 tern down and the building oxtendotl te
the rear, and when done, the steam ongine
and the truek would have te pass iu and
out of tbe same narrow entrance, causing
great Incenvenience. The removal of tbe
big bell, wires, nnd alarm apparatus, from
tbe Empire te the Washington building
would also involve heavy oxpeuse. The
committee had examined tbe premises and
considered the cost nud wero oenviuood
that it would be much better te loave the
truck whera it is in the Empire building,
whieh is well suited for the purpese, well
Ioeated, and permits the truck te avoid the
railroad, in ruuniug te and returning from
fires.
Mr. Evans reminded councils that the
ordinance roergauizlng the dopartment
provided umeug ether things that the
hook ami ladder truek should be housed
with ene of the ongines. He thought the
price propesod te be paid for the Emplre
building was tee high. If it oeuld be pur
chased for a sum net oxeeoding $2,500, he
would vote for it. Alter seme further
debate he moved that the oemmitteo be
authorized te purohaFe the prepetty at a
sum net exceediug $2,500. Tbe motion
was agreed te. Common council concurred.
A mossage from the mayor rolatlve te
the resolution passed by tbe Pennsylvania
Logislature, favoring a liberal Indian pol
icy, and the aotien takeu thoreon by oem
